Away Game

I'm hitting the road TODAY and am I'm bound for Austin, Texas. Although I wish I was able to see some fabulous friends on this trip, but this time I'm flying in and out for business. FOR BUSINESS. Because I'm an adult and all that jazz. That's craziness, my friends. Crazy good.

Without my searching, publicizing, or advertising I have found myself as speaker for a weekend winter retreat. This opportunity to speak into the lives of young women (my most favorite thing) just fell into my lap. (Thanks Big Papa!)

I've spent the past month preparing and being thankful, but I will also admit that I have allowed myself to doubt this endeavor. I wonder if I'm ready to go alone, to speak to a group of teens I have never met. I also question if I'm really ready to actually DO rather than just dream. I told D my fears last night.

His response: "That makes sense. It's your first away game... But I know you. You're going to be great on the road."

Hey batter, batter...

"Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel." Ephesians 6:19

About Us

Ginger and Valerie are boring enough not to be able to post daily, but apparently interesting enough to have a blog.

Sisters separated by the state of New Mexico (Ginger is in Arizona and Val in Texas), they write because it's way more fun than just e-mailing their parents. They apologize for any sarcasm...it's genetic.
